Chapter 193 Aviation Bureau and Orphanage
The cubs were playing in the indoor playroom. Chi Nian and Xin Le sat together and watched them. There was a small swimming pool with little crocodiles next to them.
Because of the special nature of its animal form, the little crocodile cannot choose the amusement equipment it likes like other cubs. Fortunately, she did not show obvious interest in playing, so she just stayed quietly in the water and blew bubbles.
The little bear cub only rode the train for one circle, then walked towards Chi Nian with his eyes squinted. He was so sleepy that he needed to sleep in Teacher Chi's arms.
Chi Nian and Xin Le looked at each other and realized that the little bear cub might be in this state for the next few months, so they picked it up.
"Go to sleep if you're tired, Xiaohan. There's no need to force yourself to play with your classmates." Chi Nian held the little bear cub in his arms and adjusted his position. He patted the cub's sturdy back and said softly, "But you still have to wake up and eat something for lunch, okay?"
"Ao." The little bear cub called softly, as if responding to what Chi Nian said.
[I was just about to ask, what's wrong with Xiaohan? He looks like he's been unable to wake up.]
[It must be the hibernation period. Since the cubs live in animal form, their animal genes are more dominant than their human genes.]
[I'm also a bear-like beastman. When I was little, I used to feel very sleepy during the winter, but after transforming, I felt much better.]
[Oh my god, you guys are so miserable! You're already sleepy in winter, and now you're hibernating, it's even more sleepy!]
Zhong Yousheng had been a music teacher at the kindergarten before, and aside from teaching, he had little contact with the children. Seeing the comments on the bullet screen, he looked curiously at Qiao Ping, who was sitting next to him basking in the sun, and asked, "Qiao Ping, have you ever encountered this situation before at No. 1 Kindergarten? The children hibernating or something."
Hearing Zhong Yousheng's question, Qiao Ping chuckled softly, "Yes, the First Kindergarten accepts 30-60 cubs every year. Not only do they cover all species, but the variety is also very diverse. This happens quite often."
Zhong Yousheng was amazed and continued to ask, "How do you usually deal with this situation? Xiaohan seems so sleepy, why don't you just put him in the nap room to sleep?"
"That's a good idea." Qiao Ping found Zhong Yousheng's words particularly interesting, and she was also interested in discussing them, so she said, "First, kindergartens have a lot of classes. It's absolutely impossible to let the cubs who are getting used to it sleep in the nap room. The cubs' parents will also think that we don't want to take care of their children."
"We don't know what will happen if we let the cub sleep in the nap room. Besides, Xiaohan has been at the Third Kindergarten for two years now, right? If we allow him to follow the habits of animals and enter hibernation for a long time, and if he fails to transform, the kindergarten will be held responsible."
Zhong Yousheng: “…”
Now when I hear the words "transformation failed", I always feel it is very strange.
After all, she was the only one here who knew that the beastmen who failed to transform all had human genes, and Xiaohan's parents had both transformed on parent-child activity days, which meant that both parents were purebred beastmen and it was impossible for them to fail in transformation.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yousheng asked tentatively, "During your teaching time, have any cubs failed to transform?"
Qiao Ping didn't expect Zhong Yousheng to ask such a sensitive question. She was stunned for a moment and finally sighed softly.
"Don't ask this kind of question in front of other teachers anymore. Although some cubs do fail to transform during our long teaching careers, we generally regard this as a shameful act of force majeure."
Now it was Zhong Yousheng's turn to remain silent. After a long pause, he finally said "I'm sorry," but he didn't stop asking, "Why do you feel ashamed? And why is it force majeure?"
Qiao Ping patted Zhong Yousheng on the shoulder and said enviously, "It seems you haven't encountered such a situation during your teaching career."
"You're also aware that orcs who fail to transform are considered disabled in orc society, right? It's indeed a shame for a cub you've raised with all your heart and soul to fail to transform, although I've never felt that way."
"As long as you teach for a little longer, you'll find that these cubs that fail to transform almost all come from single-parent families, or one of the parents has never shown any care for the cub. This is also due to force majeure."
Cubs are the fruit of their parents' love. No matter how much the kindergarten teachers take care of their students, problems with either parent will lead to emotional instability in the cubs.
Zhong Yousheng probably understood what Qiao Ping meant, but unfortunately, the other party did not think there was anything strange about it. This was indeed normal, because in human society, children from single-parent families are also prone to psychological problems.
In this way, it is understandable that the orc cub failed to transform due to family reasons.
But why do the orcs believe this so firmly? Why do they all agree that the cubs' failure to transform is due to insufficient care?
Zhong Yousheng had a serious expression, but after Qiao Ping's explanation, she found some new entry points, such as whether she could contact the orc who had been taught by the other party and had failed to transform.
After all, these cubs are different from Chi Nian, Pan Pan and others. They grew up under the careful care of the kindergarten and have all their childhood memories, including memories of their families.
Although these questions can also be asked to the children in the orphanage, it will undoubtedly be like rubbing salt into the wound for those children.
Thinking of this, Zhong Yousheng looked at Qiao Ping expectantly and said, "Sister Qiao Ping, perhaps you know of any cubs that failed to transform, and whose parents didn't give up on them?"
Although she was puzzled by Zhong Yousheng's question, Qiao Ping still recalled it carefully and said, "There are indeed two people who left a deep impression on me. A male chinchilla beastman works as a flight controller at the Aviation Bureau, and a female shrew beastman is now the director of an orphanage. Both of their parents never gave up on them."
"Come to think of it, they both failed to transform at the same time. I was still young then. Now they are both 27, and I am already a 48-year-old old lady. Because of their failure to transform, all the teachers and staff of the First Kindergarten were cursed, and the enrollment rate dropped by 10% the following year."
When Zhong Yousheng heard Qiao Ping's words, he got goosebumps all over his body.
She opened and closed her mouth five or six times before she spoke: "Director of the orphanage? Could you tell me which orphanage? Because of Nian Nian, I'd really like to get to know them. After all, I'm also a very weak being."
When Qiao Ping saw Zhong Yousheng's strange expression, she still didn't think much about it. After all, she knew the other party's beast form, which was actually similar to a disabled orc.
It is true that optimistic orcs live a brilliant life and can reach their own peak through their own efforts.
"Do you want to go visit her? The orphanage does need volunteers. We can go together when we have time. As a kindergarten teacher, I can also provide a lot of help to the orphanage." Qiao Ping smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, she should be the director of the Capital No. 6 Sunflower Orphanage now."
Zhong Yousheng stood up with a snap. Under Qiao Ping's surprised gaze, she laughed dryly and said, "Thank you, Sister Qiao Ping. Let's go to the orphanage to visit the cubs together when we have time. I suddenly remembered that I have something to discuss with Director Jiang."
Although she didn't know what was going on, Zhong Yousheng looked quite anxious, so Qiao Ping reluctantly said, "Go quickly. If you feel unwell, don't endure it like last time."
Zhong Yousheng responded and stumbled out of the office.
